[quote=Anonymous]First off, I AM a teacher and I appreciate what I do, and what my colleagues do. But it doesn't sit well with me that our PTA (FCPS) is sending mailings about specifics for us to send in each day with our kids, for their teachers (and, again, for me). A lot of us feel this way, but the others won't let it slide so please don't tell me to bring this to the board or the PTA because I"ll be slaughtered.

As a parent, I don't like being told when and how to appreciate all my kids' teachers, though I do appreciate them, no question. And I do my own things during the year to show them. But it's not right to impose this "such and such on Monday, this on Tuesday, this on Wednesday" thing. That just comes across as greedy and obnoxious.

So please, parents, don't feel bad if you feel as I do. Most of us teachers would just like to be "appreciated" with good communication from home, good behavior and effort from your children, and maybe a homemade card at the end of the year.
